"Desafios y Bendiciones": A Multiperspective Examination of the Educational Experiences and Coping Responses of First-Generation College Latina Students
Gloria, Alberta M.; Castellanos, Jeanett
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v11 n1 p82-99 Jan 2012
Taking a multiperspective approach, seven Latina students, two student services personnel, and one mental health service provider are interviewed to gain different stakeholder perspectives regarding Latina first-generation college educational and coping experiences. Familial involvement and connections with family, peers, and university personnel are critical to the educational coping of Latina first-generation college students. The students provide "consejos" for other Latina first-generation students to navigate college successfully. Practice implications and directives for future research are provided.
